The Rockwood Fire Department is in the process of checking all 400 hydrants in the city. Fire fighter and first responder, Jason "Lunch Box" Kilby, and Capt. David Kirby worked on North and South Chamberlain Avenue Monday.

Hydrants that aren't used often the water at first is a muddy color to it due to the lack of water circulation.
It takes around 4 to 5 weeks to check every hydrant to make sure nothing has changed and that the water pressure is in good working order Kirby said.

Rockwood Police Chief Bill Stinnett said his department took out petitions in juvenile court for vandalism and burglary against the three female suspects who allegedly broke into and ransacked Ridge View Elementary School on May 24.

“Their ages were 11, 12 and 14,” Stinnett said.

Juvenile court is not one of public record, so what happens to the suspects if they’re found guilty of the charges might not be aboveboard.
